Given that they were meeting before 7AM in the school cafeteria, it's hard to imagine how that could have been significantly blocking traffic. From what the prinicpal told reporters, it sounds as if the prayer aspect was the key issue, not the blocking traffic issue. Agree, from other report I've read, the group petitioned to form a bible club-like prayer group but were denied.
In the articel at post 71, a member of the groups is reported to have said they DON't want club status.
But a member of the loose, multi-faith group disciplined on Friday said it doesn’t want club designationThis is understandable because the very nature of the group's belief system is that group prayer should be a normal part of everyday life, not something that is just done by members of an organized club.
